Safety, trust & environment

I am very attentive to my dog and cat. I can immediately tell when they are off and I try to figure out what it is that is causing them to feel that way. All animals being transported in my car will have a seat belt. I use a lot of verbal praise and I use small training treats to build rapport with new dogs. I am more than happy to use methods that work well for you so that I can be consistent with how you want your dog to be cared for. I have a big yard but it is not fenced in so I typically will utilize the space to play fetch. If I want a more contained area, I'll take the pets im caring for to a local dog park or baseball field where its fenced in.

Information Zachary G. would like to know about your pet

I have no problem watching any pets but just let me know if they have aggressive behaviors or have any diet needs! Thanks so much!

A typical day

We often visit Delaney, a conservation in Stow. We always see other dogs and 95% of the time they are super friendly. We also play fetch in the back yard on a daily basis! I love to take my dog to a pond to go swimming on hot days!

Zach's Pet Care Service(s)

Pet care experience

I am and have been a pet owner my entire life. I started with fish, moved up to rabbit(s), then got a cat, and now I am a cat and dog owner. I have an unparalleled loved for animals, so I made the decision to join Rover in 2023. Since joining Rover, I have had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people and pets! The animals and services I have provided care for include (but not limited to): fish (feeding), chickens (egg relocation, water and food), bearded dragon (feeding insects), turtle (feeding), cats (food, water, litter box cleaning, mild medication administration), dogs (food, water, mild medication administration, exercise). Please note: booking a service will be exactly how it says on the app, and it will be the duration that you requested unless we discuss otherwise. I always make a clear plan with the owner prior to booking a request to ensure we are all on the same page. I do not take your pets care lightly, so I typically request a meet and greet prior to booking. Please reach out with any and all questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Zach is always great! He gets along with our grumpy senior dog and does a great job with his medication and complicated meal routine!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
